Puppy survives two euthanasia attempts

Hundreds of people in the United States have volunteered to adopt a puppy which survived two attempts to euthanise it.

Oklahoma animal control officer Scott Prall gave the stray puppy two injections of sedative, one in the foreleg and one in the heart, with both doses supposedly strong enough to kill the dog, CBS News reported.

The three-month-old dog appeared to go to sleep after the injections, but Mr Prall found the dog alive and well in a bin set aside for dead animals.

"He was prancing around," Prall said.

"He heard me drive up, and he looked up and saw me."

Mr Prall then took to dog to veterinarian Amanda Kloski, who wrote about the story on a pet adoption website.

Soon hundreds of people from the US and Canada have written to Kloski to adopt the dog, who has been named Wall-e by a local girl.

Wall-e has been placed in a foster home while Kloski and the girl sort through the adoption applications to find a permanent home for the puppy.
